NEW YORK CITY SECTION OF AMERICAN NATURE- 

 STUDY SOCIETY 



A meeting of this section was held on Saturday, March 6th 

 at Teachers College, Columbia University. Mrs. Alice R. North- 

 rop presided. The program consisted of the reports of two com- 

 mittees, one on "Nature-Study Best Adapted to the Congested 

 Regions of New York City," reported by Miss Emma Sylvester, 

 Principal of P. S. 35; the second on "Nature-Study for the 

 Suburban Districts," reported by Professor F. L. Holtz of the 

 Brooklyn Training School for Teachers. These extremely in- 

 teresting and valuable reports will be very helpful to teachers

 cation.

 man, Professor F. L. Holtz; Members of executive Committee — • 

 Dr. G. Straubenmuller and Dr. D. E. Bardwell, Associate Super-
